10．In Eastern Europe，blue jeans stand for American culture and"the good life"．In Spain they are known as"cowboys"．"cowboy trousers"，which means they are connected with the American West cowboy culture and outdoor work．
The earliest known cloth for jeans was a thick cotton cloth from the Indians．At first they were working clothes．They became popular among teenagers in the 1950s．Today jeans are a very popular form of casual wear around the world and come in many styles and colors．
Jeans were first made in Genoa in Italy．The trousers were made for the Genoese navy （海军） because they needed trousers which could be worn wet or dry，and whose legs could be easily rolled up while the men were cleaning the ships．
In the 1850s Levi Strauss，a business man living in San Francisco，was selling blue jeans under the"Levi's"name to the coal workers of California．
During World War II，the coal workers liked jeans very much because they were strong and did not tear easily．In the 1950s，jeans became popular with young people in the United States．Wearing of blue jeans by teenagers was the symbol of rebels （反叛者） in TV programs and movies．Some cinemas and restaurants refused to let people in if they wore blue jeans．In the 1980s，jeans finally became high fashion clothing，when famous designers started making their own styles of jeans，with their own labels on them．Sales of jeans went up and up．

A．Because jeans were made for workers．

16．Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids．According to a new survey（调查） by the National Sleep Foundation，51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early．Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7-to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age．Babies need a lot of rest：most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours．For most school-age children，ten hours is ideal（理想的）．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours．And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime？Watch TV．
"More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities（机会） to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，"says Dr．Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime can  get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep．Other experts say part of the problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers'bodies develop adult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm．
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to．Three years ago，schools in Edina，Minnesota，changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am．Students，parents and teachers are pleased with the results．

25．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？A
A．American kids'sleeping habits．
B．Teenagers'sleep-related diseases．
C．Activities to prevent sleeplessness．
D．Learning problems and lack of sleep．
26．How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day？C
A.7 hours．B.8 hours．C.10 hours．D.18 hours．
27．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？B
A．They are affected by certain body chemicals．
B．They tend to do things that excite them．
C．They follow their parents'examples．
D．They don't need to go to school early．
5．Renowned Chinese author Mo Yan has gained many new admirers after winning the 2012Nobel Prize for Literature．Several major publishing houses in China said they would include some of Mo's short stories in their textbooks for middle and high school students．
These announcements have given rise to fierce debate．Some criticize publishers for seeking fame and others wonder if middle school students have enough literary knowledge to truly appreciate Mo's works．Mo Yan has been a well-regarded writer in China for many years．But textbook publishers never showed their interest in his works before．Now they are all rushing to include Mo's short stories，weeks after the author won a Nobel prize．Their timing invites suspicion．
In contrast，supporters say that Mo's prose is beautiful and can inspire students's love for the Chinese language．
By having won a Nobel prize，Mo can have a very positive effect on getting more young people interested in literature．Including Mo's works in textbooks can draw the attention of young students and improve their literary skills．
So，what is your opinion？Should Mo Yan's works be featured in middle school textbooks？

15．The number of Japanese students in the Chinese mainland is more than those studying in the US，according to Japan's Ministry of Education，Culture，Sports，Science and Technology，a Taiwan news outlet reported on Monday．
Japan saw the peak of studying abroad in 2010 when 124，000 sought academic careers overseas．About 61，000 Japanese studied in the US in 2010，about half the total studying abroad．But since then，the number has decreased．In 2015，the number was down to only just over 20，000，about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas．
The number of Japanese going to the Chinese mainland to study has been rising since 2009 and now surpasses the US．
An official spokesman said，"Choices are various for studying abroad nowadays，not just limited to the US．Many Japanese universities have an increasing number of exchange pro-grams with Chinese universities and Japanese companies now tend to prefer people with academic experience in Asia rather than the US or Europe as previously．Tuition fees （学费） are another reason．Annual fees in US universities are almost twice those charged by Chinese universities．"
Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside．
 
29．How many Japanese students studied abroad in 2015？B
A．About 61，000．
B．About 100，000．
C．About 124，000．

20．After years of heated debate，gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park．Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park．By last year，the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves．
    Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States，but they were gradually displaced by human development．By the 1920s，wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area．They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada，where there were fewer humans around．
   The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results．Deer and elk populations-major food sources （来源） for the wolf-grew rapidly．These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation （植被），which reduced plant diversity in the park．In the absence of wolves，coyote populations also grew quickly．The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes，and completely drove away the park's beavers．
   As early as 1966，biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park．They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems．Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets．
    The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers．The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone．Today，the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone．Elk，deer，and coyote populations are down，while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback．The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well．
28．What is the text mainly about？D
A．Wildlife research in the United States．
B．Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area．
C．The conflict between farmers and gray wolves．
D．The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park．
29．What does the underlined word"displaced"in paragraph 2 mean？C
A．Tested．B．Separated．C．Forced out．D．Tracked down．
30．What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about？A
A．Damage to local ecology．     B．A decline in the park's income．
C．Preservation of vegetation．  D．An increase in the variety of animals．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project？B
A．Doubtful．B．Positive．C．Disapproving．D．Uncaring．
